The first campaign had closed, and we had thrown our old fu-zce away and turned our attention to the cultivation of the arts of peace. We had scarcely turned a furrow preparatory to a fall crop, till we were aroused by the war whoop and the next salutation was a volley of paper bullets about the size of the Harrison Telegraph. On examination we found the bullets had been chewed by some venomous animal in such a manner as to poison and destroy ourcharacter, if they failed to injure our persons. They have produced, as yet, no bad, result on either, and lest they should, we have looked up our old rip staver, have embarked "in the tented field," and taken in provisions to last till after the second Tuesday of Oc- . tober. Take notice therefore, jeginger-Iread paper bullet soldiers, that we are readyjbr ye, Gndttiat our determination ' is 'never to declare war nor make peace,' and as ye have a second lime declared war against us, and as we believe without good cause, come on, and in the language of Shakspeare, "Lay on McDuff and base is he who first cries hold enough." The Editor of the Telegraph says as he cannot get the Sentinel to throw any light on 'the 1700 Anti-Bank memorial transaction, he will call on the committee who forwarded it, to come out and explain. He invites them out pathetically yes, he threatens them, (the Committee,) that if they don't come out, right quick too, he will "drag theif name before the public," and we suppose will not leave them a ves-tage of character an inch long Hear the mad cap how he raves at th4&Sentinel, its Editors, the Jackson Meeting, and the Committee. "The Sentinel has charged us with lying, without specifying the particulars. At the . recent Jackson meeting a resolution was passed approving of the Sentinel's course.

We therefore hold you accountable until you explain. Gentlemen, unless this reasonable re-- quest is attended to, you must expect to hear from us again in a more specific manner. Whilst the Sentinel alone assailed 'our reputation we cared but little about . the matter, as the assertion of the writing editor of that print have but little weight. But when men who themselves are desi rous of sustaining a fair reputation, and know the value thereof, come ont and bol ster up the assailor of our reputation, by public resolutions, it is time to speak out. ion must therefore; gentlemen, see tho propriety and necessity of making as little delay as possible in this matter." Odear! dear! what can the matter bel He cares nothing, not a whit for what we say, but when the Committee and the Jackson Meeting endorse our statements, it "makes the galled jade wince" it's like tramping on the corns of his feet he cries ouch! " He holds the Committee accountable they must take the responsibility. If they do not, they will hear from our Davy Crockett in a more "specific manner." . Why he's as spunky as a mice. "Joking" aside, we have no knowledge who he alludes to under the cognomen of Committee. We know of no Committee engaged in sending the Bank or Anti-Bank memorials, and if there was, it's none of Christy's business. We attend to our own concerns in our own way, and wo would advise Christy not to undertake, in any way, to meddle or interfere in the manner we do it. We want no such chaps as him to interfere in our business, nor wont per mit him to do it. As to the gentlemen referred toas the Committee, they have no explanation to make to Christy on the subject of the memorials, so that he can come out in a"morc specific manner", as soon as he pleases. ' He need not wait a day nor an hour on the Committee.

Under this head the Editor of the Tele graph raves in his last number like a mad- an, and like the" skunk casts his offensive odour on, all who come within his range. lie has- made another attack upon us, and is no ways backward in telling us that we have made statements which are false, basely false, and he can prove it. There it is again, the fellow's joking and has been making statements about us that he himself does not intend shall be believed. He prove it, indeed! Why he can't prove any such a thing he's merely joking, depend on it. If he had not said he could prove it we would not have discovered the joke but whenever Christy talks about pro ving any thing, we set it down at once that he is joking. Christy don't believe us ca pable of telling a falsehood not him. He has a good opinion of us. He likes us and we believe he respects us much. . -To be sure he would like us better ifwe had staid at St. Clairsville, and not come here and set up the Sentinel, just under his nose as it were, but still lie likes us yes he dreads us and thanks us no doubt that we arc no harder on him than we have been. Christy mayi to be sure, not agree to all" these statements and may again charge us with uttering falsehoods, just to keep up appearances of anger; but if he does'we shall not believe him, for we know he loves us he loves the Sentinel, he lovesilssubscribers and loves the Jackson men. He claims to be a christian. He considers us and them his enemies. Does he not then love his enemies? He can't say no. Before the Sentinel, .was established Christy passed pretty generally with the People as being a pretty fine fellow, and good looking withal. Since the Sentinel was established, the case is somewhat altered. We have developed his true character and stripped him of his plumage. The Anecdote of the Hibernian sportsman illustrates the idea we wish to convey more clearly perhaps than we can give it in our own language. A Hibernian unaccustomed to shooting, charged his fowling piece and aimed at a bird in a fruit tree. He pulled the trigger, the load was discharged, and seeing nothing of the hird, concluded it had fell among the weeds; (jimpson no doubt) upon examination he discovered a toad hopping about upon which tho sportsman exclaimed, on taking up the reptile, "Arrahmy dear honey, what a beautiful cratur you were before I shot the feathers aff ye." And just so with Christy he was a beautiful bird before we shot the feathers off him. The people now view him in his true colours the un compromising enemy of Democratic principles, measures and men A Depopulated tillage The following is an extract of a letter from a traveller dated at St. Louis. " A few miles below Alton, on the Missis sippi, I passed a deserted village, the whole population of which had been destroyed by the "Milk Sickness." The hamlet consisted ofa couple of mills and a number of frame houses, not one of which was now tenanted: but the dried weeds of last year choaked the threshold of the lat ter, and the raceways of the mill were cumbered with floating limber, while the green slime of two summers hung heavy on their motionless wheels.

He has our thanks for the hint: we also do the same for the 'west countrie.' Give ear ye admirers of newspaper wisdom and listen attentively to the voice of instruction and admonition. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. L Thou shalt subscribe for the paper in thine own county. 2. Thou shalt not take a newspaper withont paying the subscription money punctually: for printers are a race of men, deserving to be fed on the fat of the land, and to have their purses filled with the riches of the earth though they seldom get either. 3. Thou shalt not steal another's articles and publish them as thine own. 4. Thou shalt not write maniac prose, or insane rhyme and expect thy vile effusions to be published as the outpourings of youthful genius. 5. Remember the advertisements and keep the printer blessed with the fullness thereof. 6. Thou shalt not borrow thy neighbor's newspaper or any thing else that is his, but go to him that hath to sell and buy for thyself. 7. Thou shalt not fall into a passion when thy milk andwatercommunications, and thy compilations of stolen thourrhts. rare rejected by the editor. o. Honor thy cotcmporaries of the type and quill, and set always a good example before thy brother's eye. 0. Remember the ladies, and beware. For if thou presumptuously prevail on one to marry, the clerk of the court shall issue license, and thou shalt 'ft e brought unto the altar and there be made to exchange thy stale of single blessedness, for one of double dolefulness, and henceforth have no more peace. 10. Beware of meddlers and double faced politicians, of sea serpents and common schools. 'Evil communications corrupt good manners.' Western. Review. A VIRGIN HEART, There is nothing under heavens so delicious as the possession of pure, fresh, and immutable affections. The most felicitous moment of man's life, the most ecstatic of all his emotions and sympathies, is that in which he recieves an avowal of affection from the idol of his heart. The springs of feeling when in their youthful purity are fountains of unsealed and gush ing tenderness: the spell that once draws them lorthintho mystic hirht of tuture years and undying memory. Nothing in life is so pure and so devoted as woman's love. It matters not whether it bo for husband or child, sister or brother, it is the same pure and unquenchable flame, the same constant and immaculate glow of feeling, whose undeniable touch-stone is tried. Do but give her one token of love, one kind word or gentle look, even if it be a-midst desolation and death, the feelings of that faithful heart will gush forth as a torrent, in despite of earthly bond, or merce nary tie. More priceless than the gems ofGolconda, is a virgin s heart, and more devoted than the idolatry of Mecca, is woman's love. -There is no sordid view to gratify self interest in the feeling. It is a principle and characteristic of her nature, a faculty and an infatuation which absorbs and concentrates all the fervor ofher soul, and all the depths of her bosom. I would rather be the idol of one unsullied aud unpractised heart, than the monarch of empires. I would rather possess the imme diate, impassioned devotion of one high- souled and enthusiastic virgin, than the sycophantic fawnings of millions. There is more thrilling felicity derived from an union of two guiltless and uncontaminated hearts, than all the conquests of Alexander, the wisdom of Socrates, or the wealth of Croesus would afford. The general world know nothing of these thiiifrs. None can appreciate tho refine ment of pure feelings, but those who by nature, or some peculiar property ot the mind, are qualified to drink of the depths of its gushing and sparkling fountains. in one can Know me eiysium oi possessing a heart, until they know the value of a gem so priceless until they can think of its embodying as something loo noiy to be mingled with the grosser images of passion and humanity, until they at last ima gine the spirit of a seraph has been clothr ed with imperiHhable mortality.

Then I'd be a blushing rose That round it fragrance throws, Blooming on my parent stem With brightness like some orient gem: Who'd be then as gay as I? "Roses beautiful may bloom, Sending round their rich perfume; But how soon their beauties fly-Scarce they're blooming ere they die!" Then I'd be a little dove. Soaring through the clouds above; Now to lands remote I'd fly Now I'd swell my wood-notes high; Who'd be then as gay as I! " Ihou on pinions light may st 6oar, And the distant land explore Thou awhile may'st gaily sing, But death shall sei ze thee on the wing!" Then I'd bo a twinkling star, Seen amid the miajs afar And though clouds o'erspread the sky, Still I'd hold my place on high Who'd be then as gay as If "Mortal, every thing Bhall pall Stars shall from their sockets fall; And know while o'er this earth you plod All that is shall change, but GOD'." Anecdotes. A Dangerous Apprentice. A boss car penter, upwards of sixty years of age, and his apprentice, a good looking youth, just turned 17, made their-appearance together before Mr. Lowndcss on Saturday, in order that the indentures of the youth might be cancelled, both parties agreeing thereto, ihe reason assigned by the employer was in the following words: "This young man, sir, is a dangerous customer among women; he was bound to me at the age of 15, and he had not been a year in my employ before he Beduced my servant girl; and not satisfied with that, he contrived to run off with the wife of one my workmen. I have a wife of my own, sir, and although she's older than myself, yet if he continues 10 'go ahead in that fash ion, there's no saying what may happen; and I'd rather dispense with, his services altogether than lose tho affections of my old woman by him." The indentures were torn up and the promising youth, with the utmost sangfroid, bowed to the magistrate and left the ollico. JV. Y. Transcript.

From the Ohio Farmer. ON MOWING MEADOWS. '. With regard to the proper time of cutting grass, there is difference of opinion and practice amonirst farmdrs. A con. sidenible number of thtfm cut their Tim othy meadows before harvest, or while io blossom; and more weuld do so if they could spare the time from the Dress of oth er calls upon their service at that period. Our former opinion favored this practice, but observation and experience have convinced us of our error. In order to an understanding of this subject, it will bo recollected, that every thing which nourishes may be analized into salt, oil, saccharine, &c. &c. Now this last substance enters in the largest proportion into all nutritive vegetable productions. Of course the time to cut grass is when this quality is in its greatest perfection. On examination this will be found to be when the seed is beginning to ripen, which is usually after the wheat harvest is secured if s peedily done. The farmer will notice that his scythe, in a dry day, when mowing ripe grass, will in a few rods oe gumed over with a thick saccha rine matter, which will not be the case when the grass is in bloom. Indeed, by tasting two stocks of Timothy, the one in blossom, and the other when about one fourth of the seed is ripe, you will per ceive the latteris the sweetest. And place two locus ot hay belore any beast, the one made betore and the other after harvest, and he will assuredly prefer the latter, and no doubt, from the fact, that the sac charine nourishment is in its highest per- iccuon merein. Timothy meadows should be cut after harvest, for . the following reasons: 1st. They make, then, as above, the mOBt nour ishing and desirable hay. Md. 1 he farmer has, after hia wheat is secured, more leisure to attend to his meadows. 3d. Hay can then be made with ono half tho trouble. We have seen grass cut the forenoon of one day, and stacked the after part of the following, and keep well. 4th. It does not injure the meadows to cut the grass when ripe. Mow any given lot three years in succession, before harvest, and it will kill all the Timothy. The very best way to destroy any vegetable, is to cut it off when ia the prime of its growth. Having a very heavy crop of grass laid flat with a storm of rain, when beginning to blossom, for experiment we cut one half before and the other half after harvest. That which was cut last, though as heavy, and down as bad as it were possible for grass to be, nevertheless made the best hay. Should there be a considerable portion of Clover among the Timothy, (which is always desirable to have,) it should still be cut after harvest. The tops of the clo-vor may die, but it will keep moist and green below. C. SPRINGER. From the Farmer and Gardner. ART OF MANAGING SHEEP. Sir I have been very desirous of asccr- taing the particular method in which Mr. Barney ot rhiladelphia manages his sheep that enables him so far to exceed every body else in producing fino mutton and good wool. On his last visit to this city, 1 put the question to him, 'wherein consisted his su perior management of sheep? he gave tho following reply: He said, a gentlemaa visited him not long since, and on going to his sheep yard, and viewing it asked him the same question. He shewed at that time from fifty ewes, upwards of sixty lambs, all lively and brisk, with a loss think he said, ot three or tonr. a . gentleman observed to him that he had his shed covered with dead lambs; and as ked wherein tho secret in breeding lay. Mr. Barney observed to him, you stuff your sheep with dry food. Yes, as much good clover hay as they will eat, was the reply. Mr. B. You give them no water but suffer them to go out in time of Bnow and eat it as they are disposed to do! Yes. Then said Mr. Barney there lies the secret. Your sheep fill themselves with dry hay; they get uo water; and they have not a sufficient supply of gastric juice to pro- mote the digestion of the hay in the stom ach; they cannot raise it to cacw iftc eua; they Iobo their appetite; are thrown into a fever and cannot bring forth their young, or they bring forth a feeble, starved lamb, that falls off and dies the first exposure to the cold or rain. On the contrary, I take care to provide my sheep with good clear water in summer and winter I feed them regularly with hay through the winter, and give them ruta baga and mangel wurt-zel every day. The ewes prodvee me 120 por cent, increase in lambs, i ou cannoi, says Mr. Barney, get along without ruta baga and mangel wunzei.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. L Thou shalt subscribe for the paper in thine own county. 2. Thou shalt not take a newspaper withont paying the subscription money punctually: for printers are a race of men, deserving to be fed on the fat of the land, and to have their purses filled with the riches of the earth though they seldom get either. 3. Thou shalt not steal another's articles and publish them as thine own. 4. Thou shalt not write maniac prose, or insane rhyme and expect thy vile effusions to be published as the outpourings of youthful genius. 5. Remember the advertisements and keep the printer blessed with the fullness thereof. 6. Thou shalt not borrow thy neighbor's newspaper or any thing else that is his, but go to him that hath to sell and buy for thyself. 7. Thou shalt not fall into a passion when thy milk andwatercommunications, and thy compilations of stolen thourrhts. rare rejected by the editor. o. Honor thy cotcmporaries of the type and quill, and set always a good example before thy brother's eye. 0. Remember the ladies, and beware. For if thou presumptuously prevail on one to marry, the clerk of the court shall issue license, and thou shalt 'ft e brought unto the altar and there be made to exchange thy stale of single blessedness, for one of double dolefulness, and henceforth have no more peace. 10. Beware of meddlers and double faced politicians, of sea serpents and common schools. 'Evil communications corrupt good manners.' Western. Review. A VIRGIN HEART, There is nothing under heavens so delicious as the possession of pure, fresh, and immutable affections. The most felicitous moment of man's life, the most ecstatic of all his emotions and sympathies, is that in which he recieves an avowal of affection from the idol of his heart. The springs of feeling when in their youthful purity are fountains of unsealed and gush ing tenderness: the spell that once draws them lorthintho mystic hirht of tuture years and undying memory. Nothing in life is so pure and so devoted as woman's love. It matters not whether it bo for husband or child, sister or brother, it is the same pure and unquenchable flame, the same constant and immaculate glow of feeling, whose undeniable touch-stone is tried. Do but give her one token of love, one kind word or gentle look, even if it be a-midst desolation and death, the feelings of that faithful heart will gush forth as a torrent, in despite of earthly bond, or merce nary tie. More priceless than the gems ofGolconda, is a virgin s heart, and more devoted than the idolatry of Mecca, is woman's love. -There is no sordid view to gratify self interest in the feeling. It is a principle and characteristic of her nature, a faculty and an infatuation which absorbs and concentrates all the fervor ofher soul, and all the depths of her bosom. I would rather be the idol of one unsullied aud unpractised heart, than the monarch of empires. I would rather possess the imme diate, impassioned devotion of one high- souled and enthusiastic virgin, than the sycophantic fawnings of millions. There is more thrilling felicity derived from an union of two guiltless and uncontaminated hearts, than all the conquests of Alexander, the wisdom of Socrates, or the wealth of Croesus would afford. The general world know nothing of these thiiifrs. None can appreciate tho refine ment of pure feelings, but those who by nature, or some peculiar property ot the mind, are qualified to drink of the depths of its gushing and sparkling fountains. in one can Know me eiysium oi possessing a heart, until they know the value of a gem so priceless until they can think of its embodying as something loo noiy to be mingled with the grosser images of passion and humanity, until they at last ima gine the spirit of a seraph has been clothr ed with imperiHhable mortality.

Anecdotes. A Dangerous Apprentice. A boss car penter, upwards of sixty years of age, and his apprentice, a good looking youth, just turned 17, made their-appearance together before Mr. Lowndcss on Saturday, in order that the indentures of the youth might be cancelled, both parties agreeing thereto, ihe reason assigned by the employer was in the following words: "This young man, sir, is a dangerous customer among women; he was bound to me at the age of 15, and he had not been a year in my employ before he Beduced my servant girl; and not satisfied with that, he contrived to run off with the wife of one my workmen. I have a wife of my own, sir, and although she's older than myself, yet if he continues 10 'go ahead in that fash ion, there's no saying what may happen; and I'd rather dispense with, his services altogether than lose tho affections of my old woman by him." The indentures were torn up and the promising youth, with the utmost sangfroid, bowed to the magistrate and left the ollico. JV. Y. Transcript.

A con. sidenible number of thtfm cut their Tim othy meadows before harvest, or while io blossom; and more weuld do so if they could spare the time from the Dress of oth er calls upon their service at that period. Our former opinion favored this practice, but observation and experience have convinced us of our error. In order to an understanding of this subject, it will bo recollected, that every thing which nourishes may be analized into salt, oil, saccharine, &c. &c. Now this last substance enters in the largest proportion into all nutritive vegetable productions. Of course the time to cut grass is when this quality is in its greatest perfection. On examination this will be found to be when the seed is beginning to ripen, which is usually after the wheat harvest is secured if s peedily done. The farmer will notice that his scythe, in a dry day, when mowing ripe grass, will in a few rods oe gumed over with a thick saccha rine matter, which will not be the case when the grass is in bloom. Indeed, by tasting two stocks of Timothy, the one in blossom, and the other when about one fourth of the seed is ripe, you will per ceive the latteris the sweetest. And place two locus ot hay belore any beast, the one made betore and the other after harvest, and he will assuredly prefer the latter, and no doubt, from the fact, that the sac charine nourishment is in its highest per- iccuon merein. Timothy meadows should be cut after harvest, for . the following reasons: 1st. They make, then, as above, the mOBt nour ishing and desirable hay. Md. 1 he farmer has, after hia wheat is secured, more leisure to attend to his meadows. 3d. Hay can then be made with ono half tho trouble. We have seen grass cut the forenoon of one day, and stacked the after part of the following, and keep well. 4th. It does not injure the meadows to cut the grass when ripe. Mow any given lot three years in succession, before harvest, and it will kill all the Timothy. The very best way to destroy any vegetable, is to cut it off when ia the prime of its growth. Having a very heavy crop of grass laid flat with a storm of rain, when beginning to blossom, for experiment we cut one half before and the other half after harvest. That which was cut last, though as heavy, and down as bad as it were possible for grass to be, nevertheless made the best hay. Should there be a considerable portion of Clover among the Timothy, (which is always desirable to have,) it should still be cut after harvest. The tops of the clo-vor may die, but it will keep moist and green below. C. SPRINGER. From the Farmer and Gardner. ART OF MANAGING SHEEP. Sir I have been very desirous of asccr- taing the particular method in which Mr. Barney ot rhiladelphia manages his sheep that enables him so far to exceed every body else in producing fino mutton and good wool. On his last visit to this city, 1 put the question to him, 'wherein consisted his su perior management of sheep? he gave tho following reply: He said, a gentlemaa visited him not long since, and on going to his sheep yard, and viewing it asked him the same question. He shewed at that time from fifty ewes, upwards of sixty lambs, all lively and brisk, with a loss think he said, ot three or tonr. a . gentleman observed to him that he had his shed covered with dead lambs; and as ked wherein tho secret in breeding lay. Mr. Barney observed to him, you stuff your sheep with dry food. Yes, as much good clover hay as they will eat, was the reply. Mr. B. You give them no water but suffer them to go out in time of Bnow and eat it as they are disposed to do! Yes. Then said Mr. Barney there lies the secret. Your sheep fill themselves with dry hay; they get uo water; and they have not a sufficient supply of gastric juice to pro- mote the digestion of the hay in the stom ach; they cannot raise it to cacw iftc eua; they Iobo their appetite; are thrown into a fever and cannot bring forth their young, or they bring forth a feeble, starved lamb, that falls off and dies the first exposure to the cold or rain. On the contrary, I take care to provide my sheep with good clear water in summer and winter I feed them regularly with hay through the winter, and give them ruta baga and mangel wurt-zel every day. The ewes prodvee me 120 por cent, increase in lambs, i ou cannoi, says Mr. Barney, get along without ruta baga and mangel wunzei. This gentleman has just soia ins slice p for upwards of seventeen dollars per head to the butcners. n is ms opinion mat sheep are the most profitable stock that a man can raise; and it appears lie mases use of o expensive food, or increased quantity of it.
